Do you actually drive the CGT in the video game, or just start it up annually?

I played it a decent amount this weekend, now have a GT3 RS with full upgrades... I also experienced the chopping audio in some races, it's extremely noticeable and annoying. Usually it's happening when you're around other cars and cornering, so the system is playing audio from your car, their cars, and the tires screeching. I also had the game completely lock up mid-race, to the point of me having to reset the PS3 on the system... never had that happen before.

I had to turn the game off several times over the weekend because I was getting so pissed off at the opponents intentionally bumping me and running me off the track, usually making them break their own driving line to do it. Ridiculous.

Question for you guys- for the Tier 3+ cars do you have a problem with the car hopping all over the place if you go slightly off the track? My GT3RS will bounce for about 1/8 mile with the slightest bump, usually causing it to lose control or at least lose position. I've tried turning the suspension and haven't gotten anywhere with that.

I don't know how much more I'll be able to play this game, it's more stressful to me than it is fun, but that's how all video games usually are to me.

I feel the same way. I am SOOOOOO tired of the AI cars tapping me when I'm about to win a multi-lap Nurburgring race and instead I end up losing. I am going to give it one more go, then I'm done. So disappointing...

+1 On what you guys said. For once, a good bug happened to me though While going one-on-one with a GT2 I didn't even have time to start, when my car shuddered violently for a second and then the screen just said that I had won the race WTF?

^- You must have a very high tolerance for stress or something, I can't believe how far you've gotten!
